The main contention of the accusation of corruption is the Torah and Injil do not emphasize on the prophesy of Muhammad as a messenger.
What do you mean by "contention of the accusation of corruption"?

Doctrine does not mean Injil. Injil is what was preached (spoken Evangel) by Jesus. It was Gospel of Jesus. It was not written down there and then. Therefore, there is no point in you imagining that the Qur'an claims the Injil was corrupted.

It may be "YOUR logical inference" but not the "claim of the Qur'an".
Based on your "example", your claim is way off the mark.

Make up your mind as to what is in the Qur'an and what isn't in the Qur'an instead of saying what should be in the Qur'an.
It seems as if you made a claim against the Qur'an ingnorance but now you can't back it up from any verse of the Qur'an. That's what the Qur'an does to unbelieving people; drives them into error and astray because they do not believe it.
to say the Injil was corrupted you have to first produce a copy of the Injil. It was never saved. No Known written copies of it exist. Although it is possible the Gospel of Thomas (Which was declared Gnostic and not included in the Bible) or even the Gospel of Peter (also excluded from the Bible) may have been copied from the Injil and possibly some quotes of Jesus (a.s) in the 4 Gospels of Matthew, John, Mark and Luke are from the Injil. I personally feel the "Sermon on the Mount" is from the Injil.
Now to see what the Christians did to the Torah, nearly all of the NT contradicts the Torah
While Muslims agree with much of the Torah One must keep in mind Hebrew ceased being a spoken language by the First Century CE and did not beging being reconstructed as a spoken language until the late 1800s and much of it reconstructed from Arabic.
The problem is we can not be fully certain the Torah has been interpreted correctly. I feel is is almost certain parts are in doubt. It is noted there are differences between the Christian and Jewish interpretations of the Torah. At least one and possibly both are wrong. Although I believe the Jewish interpretation is closer to being correct than the Christian interpretation.
Note the claim by the Quran that the Torah and Injil are corrupted is so obvious by the following;
1. The Quran is perfect and the final words of Allah
2. The Quran claimed to confirm the original revealed Torah and Injil
3. The Quran claimed via many verses[listed in the other OP] the Torah and Injil are corrupted.
4. It is empirically proven [very obvious] the present Torah and Injil are different from the present Quran.
5. Since the Quran is perfect, thus the different Torah and Injil must be corrupted as claimed in 3.
From the above, there is no need to produce the originally revealed Torah and Injil which is impossible given the circumstances.
In fact, the Quran took advantage [exploited] of this impossibility to claim the Torah and Injil were corrupted since it was first revealed to the respective prophets.
If we can ever produced the original revealed Torah and Injil, they will exposed [empirically] the false claims by the Quran.
[quote=Khalif;45056776]What do you mean by "contention of the accusation of corruption"?The main contention or the main purpose of this accusation that the Torah and Injil was corrupted is related to the prophesy of Muhammad's as a messenger of Allah.

The central and main doctrine of Christianity is within the Injil.
Note in the other post I defined what I mean by 'corruption'.
The Quran claimed the Torah and Injil was corrupted, i.e. the original version revealed to the respective prophets were changed, edited, has omissions, over time. The proofs of this corruption is proven by the difference in its doctrines, stories, that is different from those of the Quran.

What is the most credible conclusions other than a logical rational inference?
Are you saying opinions, dreams, speculations and falsehoods are better than rational logical inference. You are insulting your basic human intelligence on such a stand.

That has nothing to do with the accusation of the Qur'an "claiming" that the Torah and Injil are corrupted.

No. You are totally wrong. The whole Christianity depends on the event AFTER the Injil was revealed and preached by Jesus. It is the crucifixion and death on the cross event.

The Qur'an does not claim so; you claim so.

Then it is your claim but not of the Qur'an.

It is still not the claim of the Qur'an but your own "conclusion" and "inference" dressed up as "credible" and "rational".

You make things up about the Qur'an claiming this and that and now about what I haven't even said but you have said.
That has nothing to do with the accusation of the Qur'an "claiming" that the Torah and Injil are corrupted.
Obviously there are many other reasons, e.g. credibility, etc. but one of the main reason is because of the Jews and Christians messing with the prophesy of Muhammad as the messenger which made him very angry.

Note the central point is the salvation of mankind as promised. The crucifixion and rise from death are merely events that confirmed what is promised by God.
Quote:

Note all will agree context within the whole Quran is critical.
The Quran did state 'the Torah and Injil are "corrupted" and when we relate all the relevant verses relating the accusations of alterations and omissions of the holy texts from their original revelations, the right context is represented by the phrase 'corruption of the Torah and Injil'.
Do you expect me to repeat all the related verses at all times to get my point 'corruption of texts' across to you.
Common don't insult your intelligence in the effective use of concepts and context.
Quote:
The Qur'an does not claim so; you claim so.
Note my point above.
Don't be that stupid as far as the use of right context is concern.
Quote:
Then it is your claim but not of the Qur'an.
Obviously the Quran is not going to claim that itself is in part fake, false and accept that it plagiarize from the Torah and Injil.
Such a conclusion that the Quran plagiarize from the Torah and Injil, and they are different can be easily be analyzed by any independent objective person which is not you as a believer who MUST be bias at all costs.
Quote:

Show me the proofs to your claim.
I have already given my rational explanation.
Quote:

I have already presented by logical and rational views.
The fact that you just wave them off without countering with rational arguments show that you do not prefer logical and rational methods and what else but opinions and speculations.
Obviously there are many other reasons, e.g. credibility, etc. but one of the main reason is because of the Jews and Christians messing with the prophesy of Muhammad as the messenger which made him very angry.
That was not your point but your point was that "the Qur'an claimed Torah and Injeel" were corrupted. There is no such "claim" in the Qur'an.

You are ignorant about the dependence on crucifixion and death of Christ on perceived salvation of Christians themselves.

There is no need to produce the original Torah or Injil.
But at least the Torah exists in copy.
There is no copy of the Injil , While the 4 Gospels of Mark. Luke, Matthew, and John exist in the Bible and the Gospels of Thomas, Peter, Mary, Barnabas and others exist among the Gnostics the Injil (Gospel of Jesus) no longer exists. It is possible that parts of the Injil are quoted in the other Gospels but that is not verifiable.
The Gospel of Thomas is a strong contender to being part of the Injil, but it was never accepted as part of the Bible except by the Coptics and the Thomason Christians of India.
An interesting work:

Note the above is merely semantics.
I can easily changed it to the Quran claimed the Torah and Injil has been changed and verses are omitted [i.e. corrupted] from the original version that was recited to the respective prophets.
I understand most Christians emphasized on the rising of Christ from death which support the point that all Christian will also be able to rise from physical death. To me this is just the form of the essence of salvation to eternal life in heaven.

But the fact remained the Quran claimed Torah and Injil has been corrupted [verses omitted or changed]. Thus the present copies are different from the original version recited to the respective prophets.
